Welcome to our third episode where we take an in-depth look at a location with far too much history to cover in a regular episode. This week, we’re unlocking the iron gates of one of America’s most infamous prisons: the Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield. Once home to thousands of inmates (and a few Hollywood cameras — hello, The Shawshank Redemption) this looming Gothic fortress has earned a reputation as one of the most haunted places in the country. Join us as we dig into its dark history from its origins as a well-meaning reformatory to the violence, tragedy, and despair that seeped into its stone walls. And of course, we’ll explore the ghost stories that still echo through its cellblocks. Whether you’re a history buff, a paranormal believer, or just here for some spooky season chills, this episode will leave you wondering what lingers behind those cold steel bars after dark.
